Waiting for a revelation

"I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?"
— C.S. Lewis

Have I posted this Starfield song before? Probably. But the truth in the lyrics and the extent to which I identify with them is unchanged. Listening to this song this morning, it occurred to me how much this resonates with yesterday's post. I took a chance the other night and emailed someone I know who is a recruiter for a missions sending agency, asking him how things were developing for the team they are trying to form to go to Croatia. Today he replied and wrote, "I literally woke up yesterday thinking about you and the Croatia team. Then when I got into the office there was your e-mail waiting for me. Wow!" At WV chapel today, some of the interns spoke about how God brought them to World Vision. Amazing stories. Rich also shared that when he was young, working for two years as an intern driving taxis, he never imagined where God would lead him. I still don't know where God is leading me or how I am being prepared, but these are good reminders for me that God knows where He is taking me; I just need to stay close to Him.


Tumbling After - Starfield

The other day while I was driving home my world was shaken
It occurred to me that I had left too many risks untaken
I'm always sitting here just waiting for a revelation
Is it ever gonna come?

All this searching yet my destiny is still unfound
Makes me realize this world will always let me down
So it seems that the only hope I ever had
Was everything that You are

I'm falling down
Tumbling after You
I'm overwhelmed
Tripping over simple truth
In all I've found
There's nothing that's more beautiful
Than what I've found in You

You could always see right through the front I'd offer You
Not believing my excuses, waiting for the truth
When You could have turned Your back
And walked away from me
You, You picked me up instead

So we'll turn another page and change the way I look at You
And maybe I'll begin to understand what You went through
Not content to leave me wandering and unaware
You took my hand instead
Yeah, You lead me to the edge

You're everything that I ever needed
Now I wanna believe this time
That You would love me
That You would say I'm Yours, I'm Yours, I'm Yours
